In the early mornings and evenings at our retreat center, it is common to see yogis walking together chatting among themselves. This is no idle chatter. They are swapping dhamma experiences and offering support to one another. They are using this time to mindfully relate and listen to what is happening in each other's practice. They are taking delight in dhamma and immersing themselves in the safety and trust of their meditation community. To interact with a fellow yogi in this way is invaluable in furthering our understanding and consolidating wisdom.
在我们禅修中心的清晨和傍晚,看到禅修者们边散步边交谈并不稀奇。但这不是无聊的闲扯。他们在交流学法经验,互相提供帮助。他们利用这个时间富有正念地叙说和倾听自己和他人的练习中发生的情况。他们因法喜悦,沉浸在禅修团体的安全和信任中。用这样一种方式与同修互动,对于增进我们的理解和巩固智慧是无价的。
